Chu has joined many other Democratic elected officials in repeatedly denouncing Trump’s abrupt end of DACA protections for Dreamers and demanding swift passage of a clean Dream Act along with other immigrants’ rights legislation in Congress. In September, Chu issued a press release criticizing Trump’s termination of DACA, saying:

The Trump Administration’s decision to rescind DACA is a cruel and devastating blow to the nearly 800,000 young Americans currently enrolled in the program. This indefensible action is an open attack on America’s immigrant communities and undermines our core values as a nation.

Currently, activists around the country are staging coordinated protests and sit-ins demanding passage of a clean DREAM Act in Congress before DACA expires early next year, and Representative Chu — today’s top candidate for all-round badass Asian American woman — is one of several Democratic and Republican lawmakers who are working tirelessly to pressure the GOP-led Congress to act to help Dreamers before it’s too late.
